Hi, Can someone tell me if there is a parameter for deleting files in the
destination directory that are no longer in the source directory?
Thanks!

We use a 3rd party program called xxcopy ( http://www.xxcopy.com ). They
have a free and 'pro' version too. Worth checking out.

Have used XCOPY for years, from its DOS days and do not believe
that such a capability exists. But what is the difference between
deleting the contents of a folder and then using XCOPY to copy
from the source to it? We used to run a batch file to accomplish
this in the DOS days.
